Is the sum of two integers always greater than the difference between them? Why or why not? Give examples to support your answer.

Respuesta :

I think the answer is no. 
Example: The difference between these 2 integers is greater than the sum of the two integers. 
-4 + -5 = - 9 
-4 - -5 = 1

Answer:

No, this statement is not true

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to prove or disprove that:

Is the sum of two integers always greater than the difference between them.

No, this statement is not true

for example:

Take two integers -2 and -3

Then, sum of -2 and -3 is

-2+(-3)=-2-3=-5

and the difference between them is

  -2-(-3)=-2+3=1

   -5 is not greater then 1 hence,  the statement is false
